What We Do
Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Employer Direct Healthcare™ (EDH) is an innovative healthcare services company that provides high-quality, cost-effective solutions to self-insured employers through two core products, SurgeryPlus™ and CareCentral™.
Whether it is SurgeryPlus or CareCentral™, our Care Advocates are the heart of our business. Beginning with the first time they call in, members are paired with a dedicated Care Advocate, who serves as their personal full-service healthcare concierge for as long as they are enrolled in our services. As experts on each of our members’ medical plans, our Care Advocates truly handle it all, from locating the best providers for a member’s specific needs, to coordinating any logistics and scheduling all of their appointments.
SurgeryPlus™ is a valuable supplemental surgery benefit that transforms the way employers provide and pay for their employees’ planned medical procedures. With SurgeryPlus™, we pre-negotiate bundled rates for thousands of non-emergent surgical procedures, which allows us to generate significant savings for both employers and their employees. With this benefit, members have access to our full-service healthcare concierge services and our exclusive national network of 100% board certified physicians representing numerous specialties, including orthopedics, sports medicine, spine, general surgery, gastroenterology, women’s health/GYN, bariatrics, ear, nose and throat (ENT), cardiac and more.
CareCentral™ is a full-service healthcare concierge service that is designed to assist members in understanding and navigating all of their healthcare decisions, from something as simple as answering a benefits-related question or locating a primary care provider, to something as complex as coordinating treatment for conditions such as cancer, transplants, chronic conditions, surgeries and more. When it comes to the ways CareCentral™ can assist members with their healthcare needs, the sky is the limit!
